Nevermind, I got that fixed too. I forgot to reboot the system in the batch file. I did a manual reboot and windows update now only lists 1 missing critical (which should be fixed after reading another thread) instead of 2.

Yeah I noticed that and fixed it too. Now the only update I still need to get working is the MDAC. I copied the command and pasted right into my main_batch.cmd: ECHO Installing Q823718 Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components start /wait %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\Q823718.exe /T:%systemdrive%\install\tmp /C:"%systemdrive%\install\tmp\dahotfix.exe /q /n" /Q Windows Update still shows it as not installed. I am using VPC if it makes a difference

So where am I getting WMP9MM2.exe? I am looking on the windows media and windows download sites and all they have is MPSetup.exe

Is there a way to automate the folder options settings I prefer (like showing file extensions, showing sytem files, etc)? It would be great if I could get this stuff automated. The less I have to do after an install the better.

Solved my problem. In winnt.sif I am looking for main_batch.cmd, but I named the file main_batch.bat

Well I have been using Nero to burn, and I just put my cd in to check and on the cd it is named $OEM$.

Yes I have D:\i386 and D:\$OEM$. Here is my winnt.sif: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="no" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=removed EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1 [userData] ProductKey=removed FullName="removed" OrgName="" ComputerName=hal [TapiLocation] CountryCode=1 Dialing=Pulse AreaCode=513 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000409 [identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd %systemdrive%\install\applications.cmd

Yes I have my files in $OEM$\$1\install. I have an install and a drivers dir and neither get copied to c:\

Yes, its in the [unattended] section

This is what I have in my winnt.sif file: [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd %systemdrive%\install\applications.cmd when it is installing it tells me it cannot find the batch files, but it is looking on c:\. How do I get it to look for the cd drive?
